After an 8-4 Loss to Hanover last Friday night, the Ironmen lost 11-6 to Kin- cardine in a shoot-out in Wingham Sunday afternoon.

Mike Campbell appeared to be caught sleeping on a hard shot by Speer that tied the game at two apiece. Campbell alsoappeared to be totally screened on two low shots that barely found room on either side of the goal on separate occasions. Ken Cousins and Steve Lorenz were the marksmen for the Ironmen. Rick Grubb made it 5-3 early in the third period, converting the rebound off a Bruce Kuntz shot, but that goal was erased when Dave Montgomery circled the Baron net, continued around the slot and then fired one by Brad Murray as the defence failed to touch him. The Ironmen pulled their net - minder with a minute and a half remaining and surrendered three empty -net golas in that time span. Two of those goals were scored by Tim Davis and one by Steve Hooper. In Sunday's contest, the visiting Kinucks had little to prove as they already en- joyed top position in the six - team league. However, they exemplified what a winning team is all about. The Ironmen came out flat, perhaps realizing they too had little to work for. Feeling the frustration of a disap- pointing season, they looked anything but impressive in the first period, giving up five unanswered goals as Craig Weise scored twice with singles going to Steve MacPherson, Dave Pet- teplace and Jeff McTavish. However, in the final two periods, the Ironmen displayed a concerted effort and salvaged some credibility 'even though they were outscored 6-4 in the second. In the final period, they shut out the Kinucks while scoring twice them- selves. MacPherson completed the hat trick with two goals in the second, while Marcel Verloon, Brad Fitzsimmons, Dave Fair and Mike Serenko added singles. Ken Cousins potted two goals for the Ironmen with Brian Tenpas and Len Stamper adding one each. In the final period, Cousins completed his hat trick and Kevin Dietner scored his eighth of the year. Steve MacPherson was the first star of the game with three goals for Kincardine. Ken Cousins was the second star with three goals and one assist for the Ironmen. Cousins played one of his most aggressive games, bumping and grinding away with opponents and enjoying a definite superiority as far as size and weight were concerned. Steve Simpson was the third star of the game with four assists for the Kinucks. • The Ironmen will finish off the season with a game against the visiting Hanover Barons next Sunday in Wingham at 2:30 p.m. Leroy Jackson was the winner of $21.50 in the 50-50 draw. • • +fid a"'N. nformation PLAYING FROM FRIDAY TO THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4111 - 10TH Showlimes Friday and Saturday al 7 and 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday at 8 p.m. only - 1 r:D.0; 4,• shM4,0.; 44-4.44,, 4,1)4,>v44. .441,1 X4.4,44 44.4. .44. i 4,V44,;i44,1414.'_4444 4444': 141041Rgeo CLEARING THE CREASE—Ron'Schistad of the Ironmen took a Kinuck player down as he tried to park himself in front of the Wingham net during Sunday afternoon's match, won by Kincardine.

The home team struck early with Terry Davidson's goal at 2:14. The Royals got that one back on the power play, with Jim Wendt watch- ing from the penalty box as Dave Stephenson did the damage with Dennis Knox and Ron Bennett drawing assists. In the second, it was the Royals turn to strike early. At 1:33, Bennett had the red light smiling with Stephen- son and Ian Montgomery doing the heavy spade work. From that point on, it was exciting end-to-end hockey with close checking and no further scoring. It was a happy Royals roster that skated from the ice with a 2-1 win at game end. WHISTLE STOPS—It was a big win for the Royals, snapping a rather long drought of winter games. Added to the fact, coming out Harriston Blues edge of Mildmay with a win is no easy feat. The defence corps came up with a big game to keep the Mildmay attackers hometown Royals 5' By Bill Johnston It, was exciting Inter- mediate C hockey at the local arena last Friday evening when the league - leading Harriston Blues defeated the hometown Royals 5-4 at the final whistle. In early first period action, the Royals hemmed the Blues in their own end but, despite carrying the play, just couldn't seem to come up with a good scoring chance: At 6:30, on the power play, Harriston started the scoring as Wa " Williams fed a perfect e"t` s to Bob Reid from the boards. Reid moved into the slot and his booming shot instantly bulged the twine. At the mid -point of the period, with the Royals on a power play, Harriston picked off a pass at their blueline and it was a two -on - one as Fred Locking's pass was driven home by Bill Berfelz. Add to that, Brent Manderson's goal with only seven seconds in the period and Harriston appeared to have the game well in hand with a 3-0 lead at the end of the first. The second period belonged to the Royals. At 7:40, on a pretty give -and -get play, Dave Stephenson broke into the Blues end and passed to Jay McLaurin who instantly relayed the puck back to Stephenson who flipped it into the corner of the net. Two minutes later, the Royals picked up their second goal, a power play tally, as Rick Jacklin threw a rink -wide pass to Mike Montgomery from beside the net and Montgomery's ice hugger zoomed into the net. At 11:24, the Royals tied it following a mad scramble as the Blues goalie .was caught • 20 feet from home base with the puck squirting loose to Ron Bennett who just couldn't steer it home, but managed to get it to Stephenson who quickly buried the puck in the yawning net. As the clock edged toward period end, Harriston got a big goal from Reid's stick to take a 4-3 lead into the dressing room. The teams traded power play goals in the third: For Harriston, Reid picked up his third goal of the game at 6:49. The Royals goal came at 11:36 as Dave Golley zoomed around the net and tipped a drop pass to Rick Jacklin at the edge of the net and, with sure brute force, Jacklin jammed it over the red line to make the score 5- 4. Down one, the Royals pulled their goalie, but just couldn't get the equalizer. WHISTLE STOPS—For Harriston, once again their defence came up with a big game, with that Rock of Gibraltar Bob Reid moving in from the point to register a big hat trick. Nice to see Jay MacLaurin back in action and the reuniting of that big line of MacLaurin, Jacklin and Stephenson, they played well as line, picking up three of the four goals. This had"tobe Mike Montgomery's best game of the season as he unloaded more than one quick, hard shot from the point. The Royals did it again as they called for a stick measurement on Manderson and won the call, leaving Manderson sitting on the penalty pines as the Royals picked up their' third goal. Speaking of Manderson, he seemed to have his own negative rooting section in Seaforth downs Wingham Midgets Starts Fridas Feb. 11 11114 090 Led by Dave Mcllwain's four -goal performance, Seaforth downed the Wingham Lions Midgets by a 6-4 score . last Tuesday evening in the Seaforth arena.

Seaforth scored two in a row before Mark Foxton scored for Wingham at 10:54, assisted by Jeff Cameron.

After Mcllwain scored his fourth goal of the game, Brett Cameron scored an unassisted goal at the 8:42 mark, but time ran out for Wingham with Seaforth victorious 6-4. ICE CHIPS—Seaforth continues its domination over Wingham with three wins in as many games. In their latest loss, Wingham controlled the play ut failed to score on their y chances. ,Best of luck next time, guys! the latter stages of the game. Third period action saw Murray Black tangle with - towering Hugh Clumas of the Blues. As Clumas held Black at arm's length, Black landed several lefts and rights to the face and although both were sent for early showers, Clumas got the bulk of the penalties for grabbing Black's face mask.
